I found a big difference too. I have 4 or 5 passwords I use for my
"non-critical" logins, and on the old system (lvl 2) they got a mixture of good
& weak. On the new system they all get great on lvl 2 and good on lvl 3, so I
agree, maybe lvl 3 is just that little bit more friendly without sacrificing
too much security.
